Friendly reminder that the personal social media or general private information of corporate vtubers is under no circumstances yours to throw out like Halloween candy to anybody.

There is a reason why you need to do some digging to find out information about the talents behind the corporate livers. There is a reason why it's not spoken about willy-nilly. There is a reason why some people delete their entire past lives of the internet before starting their corporate careers. Either way, none of this information is yours to divulge to whomever you see fit at any point in time.

My reason for writing this are people going absolutely ballistic after Yugo's graduation was announced by Nijisanji on twitter. Some people took advantage of the situation and posted videos talking about their past life and others plastered their private socials on a world wide web billboard for everyone and their tech illiterate grandma to find. I am aware that a lot of these people were doing it to support the person behind the avatar, but maybe consider the feelings and situation of the person whose private data you are basically throwing out into the front yard of your house for everyone to look at. Some people might need time to process and move on from this and the last thing they want is for their private socials to be flooded by fans, karens and/or drama-hungry idiots immediately demanding answers and antis. If you want to show your love and support to this person, make a hashtag for the community to use and express their feelings in writing, art, music or other mediums for said person to look at in their own time.

The circumstances of the livers graduation or termination from the company doesn't matter. Even if a company fires a talent for farting on stream (extreme example), it doesn't justify giving out the talents personal social media.

Just because the information is out there, doesn't mean that it's for everyone to know about.

April 8, 2023

About a year and a half ago, I and others started noticing there were five agencies which were growing steadily and had plenty of collaboration with each other. I decided to dub them Five English Sisters, emphasizing the sisterhood of the five agencies - PRISM Project, Tsunderia, Project Kawaii, Phase Connect, and CyberLive.

CyberLive was the first to go, but I was not surprised. They were only really included because of the close connection with the other four, and their troubles were easily visible right from the start, or at least that was what I sensed. Even now, long after the demise, the tension has continued, after one of the two talents who moved to Phase Connect, did a bad joke.

Tsunderia had a quiet death, not quite getting the push and pull, first failing to capture the success of Kamiko Kana, although she had other issues, and then success of Miori Celesta. Ultimately they failed at actual support and quietly were disbanded.

Project Kawaii had a ‘miracle’ gen and relatively good models, which led them to great success, and 2nd Gen had a lesser but still remarkable success as well. Things were riding high with the 3D campaign, but cracks were beginning to show with Neena’s departure, which was unfortunate, but then just as things were looking better with the 3rd Gen, Oceane incident was revealed and some time after, whole of 3rd Gen was unceremoniously dropped, which is astounding considering the success of people like Aletta, whose shorts got her to 100K. 

PRISM Project held steady with their four generations and their inclusion to the SONY family cut them off from large success, due to the poor networking skills of the company and the general distrust after the Kaguya Luna debacle, but they have secured security in a way.

Which leaves Phase Connect as the biggest success of the group, which I would have never guessed… I wrote off Phase Connect when Sakana was posting on Reddit about him starting an agency - agency from a reddit user felt like an instant disaster, and the fact that their biggest talent was playing ropes with an even dangerous group signaled me the seal of doom.

But Pippa was one of the sly cookies in the business and the darker tone made the agency stand out, and they managed to successfully float 6 talents in their second gen, which is astounding, considering many agencies fail to float 4 or even 3 talents after their first go. Phase Connect managed to thread the line between the gremlin nature of Nijisanji EN and the outrageous and boastful nature of VShojo, as the alternative of EN Agencies.

While two of the five sisters have fully perished, idol Corp managed to nab the two empty thrones, with the surgical precision of debuting E-sekai in November, during the huge lull in both HoloEN and NijiEN, and focusing on the oft-neglected EU market. Penrose Rin was the snarky British Agency VTuber we expected to see long time ago, and her shorts, reminiscent of Pippa’s short with American autistic anger replaced by British anxiety snark, had garner enormous amount of attention vaulting her to over 250K subscribers in a month or so of the boom, with her fellow quietly but surely tracking to that 100K mark, and most already well over 50K.

But will there be that fifth member? Many had tried, like Amber Glow and AkiroAIR, but they had failed to create a good foundation for a robust fandom. The latest attempt is from Project EIEN, who had a rather nice growth, but no one from the group is a stand-out for the moment.

P.S. - Matori Kakeru’s departure continues to be a major surprise. I wonder if Kakeru is about to upgrade to a better position, because she was having relative success. Considering the Linglan Lily trade, the Taiwan scene has been quite tumultuous so anything is possible.

2022 in Review!

In retrospect, 2022 was an excellent year for me, creatively speaking. I'm not sure why or how, but I managed to ship four (!!) entire pieces of software, each with a hard deadline, on top of streaming. You can try them all for free on my Itch page. ▶ https://skeletom-ch.itch.io 1️⃣vts-heartrate 📅Jan 7th, 2022 This one is the only non-game among the bunch. It's a tool used to connect a heart rate monitor to #VTubeStudio, allowing you to use your pulse to drive changes in your model. Here's a great clip of Ironmouse using it. ▶ https://skeletom-ch.itch.io/vts-heartrate

2️⃣KAIJU 📅Jan 17th, 2022 10 days later, @chiffles_ and I entered @lualucky's #VTGameJam2022. We made this in 36 hours! Try to steal Mari's treasure! Works in browser and on mobile. Mari had us on to talk about it. ▶ https://skeletom-ch.itch.io/kaiju

3️⃣kson Doll 📅Jun 7th, 2022 Put together for kson's birthday, #ksondoll represents over 550 pieces of artwork from fans the world over, assembled into a paper doll dress-up app. Works on any device. Boss liked it! ▶ https://skeletom-ch.itch.io/kson-birthday-2022

4️⃣AmiyAmiga 📅Nov 29th, 2022 Started the day after releasing the previous project, and released 5 months later for Amiya's birthday. It's a suitably-1990s desktop assistant. I learned SO MUCH while building it. Works on Windows! ▶ https://skeletom-ch.itch.io/amiyamiga

bro im fucking heartbroken about yugo. and them calling it a graduation to soften the blow as if they didnt probably just rip the rug out from under him is pissing me off.

fuck corps bro!! fuck em!!!

They did a similar thing with Riro, except they revealed she was kyOresu in the debut trailer itself. So, with Enya, I actually think they're trying to generate hype WITHOUT revealing her identity yet.

Also, when they talked about her in Idol Alert, they specifically used the term "rebranding", which I think is distinct from PL stuff. (see Ember Amane from Phase Invaders, formerly Yazaki Kallin from Tsunderia, who also uses the term "rebranding")

i think idol might be TOO good at obscuring their secrets because genuinely who is supposed to be able to “tell who this is”

it was the same with the animals for eternals like HELPPP guys this is not comprehensible in the slightest

Yeah i find it kinda weird that they're choosing not to even reveal 2/3s of the group until the first one debuts. They didn't even do that with Meica, who, similarly to the unrevealed members, kept her old channel when joining.

Though since it's so soon after the ES debuts anyway, I don't find this as unbearable as if they were to do this with EN 3 in however much later.
